I haven't really listened to any yet, but you guys let me know which ones are the slammingest, raddest, awesomest B-Sides, aiight?
 
my favorites:

* palo alto (trippy, aggressive guitars, a song that just missed being on ok computer)

* cuttooth (hypnotic, piano-driven track, one of radiohead's most upbeat songs ever, musically)

* lift (performed live during ok computer tour but never recorded, good acoustic/electric sound)

* follow me around (never recorded in studio; debuted live on 'meeting people is easy' film and performed again live in tornonto - 10-17-00)

* true love waits (never recorded in studio; live version released on the 'i might be wrong' EP, haunting track with just guitar & vox, lyrics are somewhat disturbing)

* talk show host (probably peformed more live than any other b-side, several different studio versions explore the whole trip hop thing)

other interesting tracks...

* fog (formerly performend live as 'alligators in the new york sewers' but an almost entirely different sounding studio version was used as recent b-side)

* lull (very mellow ok computer leftoever)

* india rubber (kind of has a jazz experiment-gone-bad vibe to it, regardless, it has some brilliant drumming and guitar sections which make it worthwhile for that alone)

* worrywort (sounds like um, a video game!)

* the amazing sounds of orgy (very bizzare sounding song)
